MODESTO  – The Modesto Junior College Civic Engagement Project (CEP) invites the community to a screening of the film “Two American Families” on Thursday, March 20, at 7 p.m. in Forum 110 on East Campus, 435 College Avenue.  The free event is part of the CEP Spring Film and Lecture Series.  Campus parking is available for $1 in student parking lots.

 As it chronicles the financial struggles of two typical American families over the last 20 years, this documentary strives to bring larger economic trends into sharp focus and to reveal their role in the decline of the middle class.

 A discussion will follow the showing of the film.
